TSP reviews

Those very good folks, who work the hardest, get worked 3x as hard as anyone else and abused. Saying yes means they will add more to your plate at an accellerating rate. They have contracts with some clients who openly treat their contractors as second class citizens in every way. Expect overly difficult conversations and so on because you are not one of the team, just an outsider with an opinion that might or might not be considered. Opportunities for growth occur because there aren't enough people and the ones in place are underqualified (for reasons listed below) They have known for quite some time about the issues, and do seem to care, but also seem pretty powerless to solve them, or unwilling to if it costs money Pay is typically not competitive in most cases Underqualified candidates are always considered first for new positions because they cost less and cost trumps quality every time Benefits are good and bad, but follows the - what was cheapest for them to acquire - model Very little to no control over what situations their employees are put into with the clients they serve. A sense of service is great, but it goes too far here where every request from the client is responded to with an immediate Yes instead of questions of scope, timelines, goals, strategy, current workloads The harder you work, the harder they will expect you to work. The hardest workers get the worst treatment every time. The more you try, the less work/life balance you will enjoy.

pay is horrible. Barely paying a living wage for positions they want you to be on call for 24/7. Which is fine for young employees but people trying to support a family isn't easy. Is doing everything it can to make sure it doesn't have to pay overtime. Most companies the work week is Monday thru Friday with Saturday and Sunday counting towards that week if you have to work those days. Not this Company your work week is Saturday thru Friday with the old week ending at 5 pm Friday and the new week starting at 5:30 Friday so if you get called in to a job after hours on Friday it isn't considered time towards the week ending its time towards a new fresh week. Also told at hiring that even if you dont get a call your still going to get paid 8 hours a day because you are sitting around waiting for a call and doing Web Based Training. But say you end the week with 47 hours and 7 of those where spent at home doing web based training and 40 hours of work in the field your managers will tell you that you have to get rid of that 7 hours because you weren't really working that day. Or if they give you a day off like 4th of July or Labor day or Memorial day they will pay you for 8 hours on that day as holiday pay. But if you go over 40 hours the rest of that week they will make you get rid of those 8 holiday hours. All this penny pinching when the last few calls and company emails are about how much they are expanding and all the new contracts they are getting etc etc then 2 days later have the area managers send out emails about how they are cracking down on anyone getting OT. So we are growing as a company making more money and handling more calls yet they can't spend any of that money on you it has to be spent promoting their children and brothers not the people in the trenches doing the work and handling 20+ service calls a week driving 100 miles a day. Also I know its not standard for companies to cover a workers lunch but in the IT field service industry if you spend 12+ hours on a job site working they will usually cover your slice of pizza. Not this company because if your within 150 miles of your home no matter how long you have been at a job they say get your own damn slice of pizza. Also the company has a habit of dispatching calls for say LA to someone who lives in Iowa and instead of the person in Iowa being able to call someone and say "hey there was a mistake fix this" its now their job to find out who is Working in LA that handles this level of work and dispatch it themselves. And if you ask a manger in the area to help they will as long as they aren't busy playing golf at 2pm on a Tuesday. Health Benefits suck was better off on obamacare
